  *  There is no need to explicitly declare charatacteristics of  disk partitions or logical volumes. This is why you will not see entry for them in the examples. If an entry is using a disk partition (eg. a file system) and has a size attribute defined, a block device corresponding to the declared size will be created. If the partition number is greater or equal to 5, an extended partition will automatically be added as the fourth partition on the device. The same applies to LVM logical volumes but a file system using a logical volume is required to have an attribute `volgroup` defined.
  * A special value for the size attribute is -1. This means you want to use all the remaining unused space in the underlying block device (eg. partition or logical volume). The file system [source:templates/trunk/standard/filesystem/config.tpl configuration template] will ensure that this entry is created last in the underlying block device and that there is not 2 entries with a size of -1 in the same block device.

+''Note: if you get into troubles trying to design your own layout template, it is recommended to enable debugging in the file system [source:templates/trunk/standard/filesystem/config.tpl configuration template]. The output is fairly verbose but self-explanatory and generally helps to locate quickly the problem. As the output is verbose and because there is a high parallelisation in the PAN compiler that may lead to interleaving messages from compilation of different profiles, it is recommended to ensure you compile only one profile when doing the debugging. With SCDB you can easily select a cluster and enable debugging with the following command:`
+{{{
+ant -Dpan.debug.include=filesystem/config -Dcluster.name=your-cluster-name
+}}}
